Winston

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 15 years

Winston Notfellchen Rüde Klein Winston Winston, kleiner Senior, der noch so viel zu geben hat. Manchmal beginnt ein neues Kapitel im Leben eines Hundes, obwohl er schon so viele Jahre hinter sich hat. Winston ist ein kleiner, alter Hundemann, der zu uns kam, weil sein Herrchen verstorben ist. Plötzlich war alles Vertraute weg, sein Zuhause, sein Mensch, sein gewohntes Leben.Winston könnte um die 15 Jahre alt sein. Sein kleines Herz ist leider eine Baustelle, weshalb er Medikamente bekommt, trotzdem hat dieser besondere Senior noch erstaunlich viel Lebensfreude. Der überaus liebe, freundliche, vielleicht sogar taube, kleine Kerl geht mit größter Begeisterung und erstaunlich lange spazieren. Draußen zeigt er, wie fit er für sein Alter noch ist und wie sehr er diese Zeit genießt. Was Winston jetzt braucht, ist kein aufregendes Leben mehr. Er braucht Ruhe, Geborgenheit und einen Menschen, der ihm noch einmal zeigt, wie schön ein eigenes Zuhause sein kann. Für Winston suchen wir ein ebenerdiges Zuhause oder ein Haus, möglichst ruhig und ohne Kinder. Auch andere Hunde sollten nicht im Haushalt leben, denn ihnen gegenüber regt Winston sich zu sehr auf. Vielleicht gibt es da draußen genau diesen einen Menschen, der einem alten Hund nicht sagt: „Dafür bist du zu alt“. Wir können uns auch eine Pflegestelle als wunderbare Möglichkeit vorstellen, damit er seinen Lebensabend nicht im Tierheim verbringen muss. Es sollte sein: °Ebenerdig oder Haus °Keine Kinder °Keine weiteren Hunde °Viel Ruhe, Liebe und Verständnis °Medikamente für sein Herz, stellen wir Winston braucht kein großes Abenteuer mehr. Er braucht nur noch ein Zuhause. Und jemanden, der bleibt.

About Winston

What life with Winston looks like

Winston is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Tierheim Delitzsch in Delitzsch.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇩🇪Adopting from Germany

German rescues typically require an in-person home visit (Vorkontrolle) or detailed video home check before approving adoption. Animals leave the shelter sterilized, microchipped, and with a valid EU pet passport. Adoption fees usually fall between €250 and €450, covering veterinary preparation.

Frequently asked

Adopting Winston, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Winston?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Tierheim Delitzsch handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Winston on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Winston if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Tierheim Delitzsch will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Winston already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Winston isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Tierheim Delitzsch early rather than rehoming privately; they know Winston and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (DE). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
